I did two pictures in reponse to Pier's review piece koinup.com/pier/work/52005/ to see what I could come up with using windlight and I will confess I didn't find it that easy.
This version I wanted the viewer to see the foreground better so I set the sky settings to Gelatto again but placed the sun at an angle and height that would reflect off the landscape more. Post production I increased the contrast and used the burn and dodge tools heavily to try to deepen the shadows and highlights and give some sense of depth. I rounded off the rocks just to the right of the bridge with the clone tool because they looked like a square block. There are a whole stack of post prod effects I could have used but I wanted to remain as close to what I saw in sl as possible. I used some blurring to soften edges and water was set to glassy again.
